The long lost crypto Tonga Lei Fog Cutter mug

Although it’s not marked Tonga Lei (none of their mugs were), it is marked “Vermonde Original”

Which is also the mark on the Tonga Lei Cobra Fang mug.

It says Vermonde Orig on the bottom.

The only other mugs I know Vermonde made were for Don the Beachcomber - the long neck DTB mug and the Bamboo “lipstick” mug.

Curious when these mugs were made. DTB Palm Springs opened up in 1953 and DTB Las Vegas opened up circa 1962. The Tonga Lei opened up in 1961. So are these mugs from the 60s?

Just when you think there’s no more Crypto vintage mugs to be found, they still pop up.Keep hunting…

Fun stuff!!!
